e3nn is a library in python based on pytorch to do that

Why do we need group theory to do that?

We use group theory

physics = use numbers to describe reality

symmetry = different numbers to describe the same reality

  • absolute position on the screen?
  • absolute size on the screen?

group of symmetry = {all the choices}

  • permutation
  • rotation
  • scale
  • parity

we want our understanding of reality to be independent of those choices

group theory!

\(a\)

definition of group

\(G\) = group = set with a composition law such that

such that \(\forall g \in G\)    \(ge = eg = g\)

\(\exists e \in G\)

\(\forall g \in G, \exists i \in G\) such that \(gi = ig = e\)

\(\forall a, b, c \in G\) we have \((ab)c = a(bc)\)

definition of group

group representation

group \(G\) is abstract

\(D(g)\)

\(ab=c\)

one representation

group

all possible representations

all possible representations

=

irreducible representations

+

their

compositions

(direct sums \(\oplus\))

(for a given group \(G\))

aim of e3nn

\(\forall w\)

\(f_w(D_{\rm in}(g) x) = D_{\rm out}(g) f_w(x)\)

for the Euclidean group

  • rotations
  • translations
  • mirrors

for finite direct sums of irreps

(\(D = \bigoplus_L (D^L)^{n_L} \))

irreps of \(E(3)\)

p=1 p=-1
L=0 scalars pseudoscalars
L=1 pseudovectors vectors
L=2 e.g. inertia tensor
L=3
L=4
L=5
...

function on the sphere

\(f: s^2 \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}\)

example

Its representation is \([D(g) f](x) = f(R(g)^{-1} x)\)

With a change of variable it can be changed into:

\(\bigoplus_{L=1}^\infty D^L \)

tensor product

\( \otimes \)

defining properties:

  1. equivariant
  2. bilinear

rule

\(1 \otimes 2 = 1 \oplus 2 \oplus 3\)

\(0 \otimes 3 = 3\)

\(3 \otimes 3 = 0 \oplus 1 \oplus 2 \oplus 3 \oplus 4 \oplus 5 \oplus 6\)

\(L_1 \otimes L_2 = |L_1 - L_2| \oplus \dots \oplus (L_1 + L_2)\)

tensor product

defining properties:

  1. equivariant
  2. bilinear

examples

  • \(\vec v_1 \cdot \vec v_2 \)
  • \(\vec v_1 \wedge \vec v_2 \) 
  • \(\vec v_1 \cdot \vec v_2 \oplus \vec v_1 \wedge \vec v_2 \)
  • \(\vec v_1 \wedge \vec v_2 \oplus \vec 0 \) 
  • \(2.34 \; \vec v_1 \wedge \vec v_2 \) 
  • \(w \; \vec v_1 \wedge \vec v_2 \) 
  • \(w_{11} \vec u_1 \wedge \vec v_1 + w_{12} \vec u_1 \wedge \vec v_2 + w_{21} \vec u_2 \wedge \vec v_1 + w_{22} \vec u_2 \wedge \vec v_2 \)
